European ant is the first known animal to clone members of another species

The same Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) queen produced the hairy male Messor ibericus (on the left) and the hairless male Messor structor (on the right), despite them being members of distantly related species. Queen ants in southern Europe produce male clones of an entirely different species — tearing up the playbook of reproductive biology and suggesting we need to rethink our understanding of species barriers.

Lens blur field shown in step 2 is from the dual pixels of a Pixel 4a. Abstract Optical blur is an inherent property of any lens system and is challenging to model in modern cameras because of their complex optical elements.

Ten Years of D3D12

For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has been with us ever since. While it’s true that this is the longest we’ve gone between major D3D version updates, it’s also not fair to say that the API has remained static. On the contrary, D3D12 has received a steady stream of new interfaces, functions, and shader models. These updates have included some ver

SpaceX just fired off one of the biggest shots yet in the spectrum wars, agreeing to pay $17 billion to take over a massive chunk of wireless airwaves from EchoStar for Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell services. The deal is the most aggressive signal yet that SpaceX wants to rule the satellite-to-phone market.

The Sudden Surges That Forge Evolutionary Trees

Over the last half-billion years, squid, octopuses and their kin have evolved much like a fireworks display, with long, anticipatory pauses interspersed with intense, explosive changes. The many-armed diversity of cephalopods is the result of the evolutionary rubber hitting the road right after lineages split into new species, and precious little of their evolution has been the slow accumulation of gradual change.

New dinosaur species is the punk rock version of an ankylosaur

Ankylosaurs, with their squat, armored bodies and bizarre, weaponized tails, are an iconic group of dinosaurs. While there were plenty of species present in the Cretaceous, they're thought to have origins that trace back to the Jurassic. It has been hard to say much about those origins, however, because the fossil evidence was so sparse. One of the earliest potential ankylosaur species, Spicomellus, was known from only a single partial rib; others are known only by jaw fragments or teeth. Now,

For all known life forms, activity is punctuated by periods of rest. Sleep may be the most familiar, but many other distinct dormant states occur on longer timescales, from weeks to months on end. Such suspended animation has garnered many different names: hibernation and torpor (in mammals and birds), brumation (in reptiles), diapause and quiescence (in insects and nematodes), aestivation (summer dormancy in vertebrates and invertebrates), hypobiosis, cryptobiosis, and latent life (in microorga
